Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 378: The Mingfeng will not fall, the Mingzuo will not be extinguished, the sacrifices and festivals will be passed down, and the sense of belonging and identity of China will be enhanced.

Zhu Youju lived in the West Palace, which was rebuilt from Prince Yan's Palace and was named Longevity Palace by the emperor.

After being canonized as the grandson, Zhu Youquan lived here.

The main reason was that the old emperor cared less about his grandson and moved to the West Palace to live in the West Palace because he did not want his grandson to suffer in Xu Qin Palace.

Concubine Xie babbled: "Grandpa Huang is not in good health, and all the concubines in the harem are old and need to be taken care of. As the concubine, I should take care of Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Youquan rolled his eyes, you are happy to go and have fun in the palace.

With the emperor's support, in the 40th year of Jingtai's reign, his mother-in-law, the Crown Princess, took over the government affairs of the harem from Concubine Tan and took charge of the Sixth Palace.

In recent years, the emperor has supported the crown princess in organizing poetry gatherings and invited women from ministerial families to come to the palace to discuss poetry.

The palace is busy.

He understood that the emperor's grandpa was taking the wife's route to win over the ministers for his father and secure his position as the prince.

Zhu Youqi slapped his forehead, "I didn't blame you, I went to apologize and knelt for two hours."

Even his father, the prince, felt uncomfortable looking at these unruly palace maids. They were all very unruly. The old emperor was the most merciful to those around him.

"It's better to go to the palace. There are many sisters and you can feel free."

Xie Xueyi rolled her eyes, what the emperor couldn't do, can you?

She had received an orthodox royal education in the palace, and she had a deep respect for the emperor. This reverence and awe were deeply ingrained in her heart.

That is Grandma Huang’s favorite vase!

Mr. Xie helped him change clothes, and Zhu Youquan shook his long hair: "No wonder Grandpa Huang said he wanted to cut his hair. It's too hot."

Not only her, but also the grandson's dozen or so concubines were all female students. Their ideas of independence, autonomy, and self-love were so prevalent that even Zhu Youqi had a headache just looking at them.

Zhu Youquan didn't stay at the mansion for long. After drinking a cup of tea, he changed into casual short-sleeved shirts and went to Zhan Shifu to discuss the emperor's words today with several masters.

After Zhu Youqi let the eunuch wash up, he put on casual clothes.

Mrs. Xie started talking about her friends. Her friends were all rouge horses, and she wished she could tear down the palace.

When he fell in love with Xie Xueyi, the emperor asked him why he didn't find someone as virtuous as his mother. This Xie was just a wild horse.

"Grandpa Huang is really foresighted. This hair is too difficult to take care of. After I ascend the throne, I must issue an order to cut my hair."

"You'd better take good care of the Wanshou Palace."

Her full name is Xie Xueyi, and she was given her name by her father, the prince.

However, Zhu Youqi really liked her overbearing energy. He liked Rouge Horse, not a good girl.

Maybe Xie Qian was spoiled.

The new education in the palace is that those who have received royal education will worship Emperor Jingtai.

Unless the official ladies want to climb onto the dragon's bed, or the father or brother has committed a serious crime and is going to be executed by the clan, there is freedom, including freedom of speech and freedom of reading.

It's true that Zhu Youquan spent a lot of effort chasing her back then.

Xie Xueyi actually wants to cut her hair short.

Zhu Youqi was speechless: "The year before last, you went to the Yangxin Hall to serve, and broke the emperor's porcelain vase; last year at the New Year's Eve banquet, you soiled the emperor's dragon robe, so the emperor thought that you were young and ignorant, so it would be me Dad, Grandpa Huang will definitely whip him."

Ms. Xie stuck out her tongue: "I was young at that time and didn't understand the rules. Grandpa Huang didn't blame me."

Entering the palace is said to be serving, but in fact it is learning.

After the death of Grandma Huang, his grandfather missed people after seeing things. If his grandfather hadn't been old, he would have killed the Xie family long ago.

Xie studied at a girls' school since she was a child and accepted advanced ideas.

The emperor did not promote individualism, but in all textbooks, he quietly gave himself an aura of divinity.

His imperial grandfather liked his mother, and his father, the prince, was also attracted by the princess.

Although his father is a prince, he is actually almost the same as an emperor. He is arbitrary in matters of government affairs. Except that he is not sitting on the dragon throne, he is the emperor.

"My Lord, don't talk nonsense. Even Grandpa Huang can't stop public opinion. If your words get out, the spittle of the civil literati will kill you."

"What's the point of Wanshou Palace? Well, they are all your concubines. You can't control this one, and you won't be happy if you control that one. Why should I care about this concubine?"

The emperor paid more attention to their education. It also made it easier for the princes to have close access to the public affairs. He could also test the character of these official ladies.

This woman had such a wild temper. When she first entered the palace to serve, the emperor felt that Xie Qian had given birth to a daughter who was like a lark. She chattered a lot and talked very densely. She was not like Xie Qian at all.

"You can stop it."

The emperor had clearly said that he would not let her go. He saw that she was upset.

She also served in the palace for three years and studied at the Forbidden Women's School, so she has strong feminist ideas.

It was just the old emperor who was used to these official ladies.

The emperor was in favor of cutting hair short, and both men and women could cut their hair, but the public opposition was too loud.

There were many white eunuchs serving him. They were all handsome and intelligent children from places conquered by the Ming Dynasty. They were sent to the palace for selection and castration.

Every year, a specific group of people are sent in from various places to serve as eunuchs, and most of them are sent from vassal states.

These days, women's hair is more difficult to take care of. It takes a long time to do it once.

Despite the good relationship between the couple now, Xie Xueyi looked down on her great-grandson back then. She wasn't even a great-grandson at that time, but she didn't like her either.

In recent years, the people serving in the palace have been mainly white people.

The emperor doesn't like black people, and neither the prince nor his grandson likes them. White people don't look that good, but they are better than black people. Let's make do with it.

There are very few people in Ming Dynasty who are eunuchs.

Mainly using foreigners, it is not easy to create factions, and the superiors can use them with confidence.

The same goes for palace maids. There are many white women, and they all choose brightly colored girls and send them to the palace to do menial work.

The emperor did not only use women from official families, because these women could not do many jobs, so they had to have maids to serve as rough servants.

Besides, these foreigners had no roots in the Ming Dynasty, so the emperor could use them with confidence.

The emperor has a secret service called Shadow, which mainly selects talents from foreigners and Yangjitang orphans, trains them from childhood, and keeps them hidden in the dark.

No one knows how many people there are in the shadows, who is the leader, and where these people are hiding.

Even Wang Zhi, who had been serving the emperor, didn't know.

Zhu Youquan went to Zhan Shifu.

There are no members in Zhu Jianqi's Zhanshi's Mansion, but Taisun's Zhanshi's Mansion is extremely well-equipped, and all the young and talented people are placed in Taisun's Zhanshi's Mansion.

But this is not partiality. The elderly are all relatives from another generation, and you can understand it if you have grandchildren.

The emperor was also kind to several other grandsons.

There is also a special person in Zhu Youquan and Zhan Shifu, Lao Siyi, Zhu Jianya, his uncle.

After the old man Zhu Jianzu was enfeoffed, the people who handled government affairs in the court were basically the prince, the grandson and the old man. Occasionally, a few sons of the prince's family also handled government affairs, but they did not participate much.

Obviously, the prince is not as broad-minded as the emperor.

The emperor was greedy for power and hegemony, but he knew how to delegate power and focus on the important and let go of the light. Not only to the prince, but to all officials in the world, the emperor was willing to delegate power to his subordinates.

In terms of fiscal revenue, 10% of the revenue is retained by the local government for local use.

The emperor added half a percent extra.

He also proposed that the more you work, the more you get, and the less you work, the less you get. Everything should be based on political performance. Competent officials should be greatly rewarded, and incompetent mediocre officials should be removed from office.

Too much local property was withheld, causing central court officials to worry about whether local governments would become autonomous.

But now it is the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai. Not only is there no autonomy, but local development is rapid.

Everyone has their own account of who is good to work with.

The emperor has never been stingy with rewards, and has even made many agreed-upon ways of dividing accounts explicit, turning unspoken rules into explicit rules.

Let’s just talk about officials. They were not allowed to do business in the past, but are they taking precautions?

Now business is allowed and rewards are allowed.

Has the dynasty changed? Has the Ming Dynasty changed?

No!

But the prince cannot be like the emperor. Everyone in the court knows that if you work under the emperor, as long as you are capable, the emperor will like you. You can be the official you want to be, and how much money you want, Just how much money there is.

Yes, the disadvantages are huge, but the Ming Dynasty developed so rapidly. Isn't it because the emperor dared to employ people?

In the past, I took every precaution, but did I take precautions?

The prince couldn't do it at all. The prince wanted to be both responsible and established. He wanted to develop, but he also wanted officials to be saints.

The emperor doesn't talk about feelings, just money.

Prince, when talking about relationships, you also have to talk about money.

The problem is that the prince is far less broad-minded than the emperor. The emperor dares to leave all government affairs to the prince and grandson. He has the utmost trust in the eight ministers and six temple ministers in the cabinet; he gives the greatest support to the local governors; he gives his all to the vassal state. of giving.

Looking at the order of cabinet officials, the emperor prioritized older officials and appointed them as chief ministers first. This was a human touch.

All the important ministers of the Jingtai Dynasty were able to survive the addiction of the prime minister. How many titles were they granted to the Grand Master and Grand Tutor? How many titles have been granted to the duke?

How many civil servants and military generals deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple?

In commemoration of civil servants and generals, how many civil servants and generals were renamed, renamed cities, places, and streets, and built temples to offer sacrifices?

This is a human touch.

Who wouldn't want to serve such an emperor to the death?

Look at the prince again, every title is dignified and scrutinized.

That's right, a knighthood has many rewards, and it is a hereditary and non-replaceable title, not a demotion system.

Let's look at the emperor. The emperor recruited all the nobles into the school, trained them, and gave them opportunities to earn more titles.

During the Jingtai Dynasty, there were fourteen dukes, over fifty marquises, over two hundred counts, and countless hereditary generals.

You are a general in the army, who will you support?

The emperor never said that with many titles comes a heavy burden.

Instead, he ordered the noble family heads to enter the palace, scolded them, and forced their nephews and nephews to join the army and make contributions. The emperor was never stingy with titles.

The emperor didn't just confer titles on them, he also built temples to worship them in the places where they made military exploits. He also had to hold honors ceremonies, confer honors on generals, and reward them with mansions, factories, and all kinds of things like flowers.

There were also orphans of soldiers who died in the war, who were all raised by the emperor at his own expense.

No one in the army can say that the emperor is interesting enough, and that for such an emperor, there is a future in conquering the world.

As for military pay, it will definitely be paid out every penny. It will be paid more, not less, and it will be paid early, never late.

Various subsidies and rewards were given by the emperor in various ways, only a lot more.

For those who died in the army, monuments were erected to commemorate them, and each soldier's name was engraved on the monument so that future generations would remember them.

The emperor had done so much, so he must be very popular in the army.

Where is the prince?

The prince is not interested in a title, let alone rewards for a large group of meritorious ministers. Speaking of labor and military expenses, the Ming Dynasty spends about 2000 million every year, all of which come from internal funds.

This money does not need to be spent.

The war continued as usual without laboring the army, and there was no money for laboring the army before, but the emperor felt that instead of giving money, he distributed things and ate them, just like decapitation meals, eating the best meal before going to the battlefield.

If you don't give it, you will still go to the battlefield.

The emperor is willing to spend it.

He also took every possible care of Chengsi's Wuxun family, and even the emperor knew the names of all the Wuxuns in the world.

The emperor scolded the nobles of the Jingtai Dynasty whenever he wanted, but none of these nobles resented the emperor, because the emperor scolded them for their own good.

They scolded them for asking their side tribesmen to join the army and go to the battlefield to earn titles. They scolded them for asking them to work hard to upgrade their titles and earn world certificates.

The emperor never said anything about saving military expenditures. Instead, he increased it every year and asked all military heroes to learn the art of war, fight in wars, and perform meritorious deeds. He always said that there were too few princes in the Ming Dynasty.

The prince does not have this kind of heart.

Let's take Zhu Yong as an example. He participated in the rebellion and the emperor did not kill him. He was already showing mercy beyond the law. In the forty-seventh year of Jingtai, Zhu Yong was awarded the title of Baoguo Gong.

Zhu Yi passed away last year, and the emperor directly issued an order to present it to King Changping.

Zhu Yi's younger brother, Zhu Ji, has long been granted the title of earl. There is one king and one earl in the family. Isn't the emperor interesting enough?

What else can you say? Is there any future for following such an emperor?

The emperor only looked at military achievements, not family background or status. Those who had meritorious service would be rewarded.

Let's look at Yu Qian again. He was a county king during his lifetime. After his death, he was awarded a prince's title, which was unique in the Ming Dynasty. After his death, he was entitled to enjoy many temples.

In the fiftieth year of Jingtai, the emperor made a round of posthumous titles for Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Sheng, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, etc., and all became princes. He also gave more rewards to the descendants of the founding princes to encourage them to go to the imperial court. Go to the battlefield and earn a title for yourself.

How did Zhang Yu's descendants, the British public line, treat the emperor?

Didn’t the emperor grant posthumous titles as usual?

A meritorious service means a meritorious service, and great achievements cannot be erased. This is the emperor's ambition.

As generous as the emperor is, not to mention the prince and grandson are ashamed of themselves.

This kind of posthumous title seems to be a matter of imperial edict, but it has to go through heavy rituals, sacrifices, etc., and it all costs money, and this money has to be spent forever.

The emperor is willing to spend money.

It is said.

The emperor planned to consecrate Kunlun to Zen. According to the Yellow Emperor's calendar, the fiftieth year of Jingtai was Kaiyuan 4203. The emperor wanted to posthumously confer 4203 people who had made outstanding contributions to China.

This is a big project.

The emperor's intention is to set up a temple on Kunlun Mountain to worship these 4203 heroes. In the future, one more will be added for every additional year, so that future generations will always remember the heroes of China.

Emperors destroyed other people's civilizations.

But they regard their own civilization as a treasure.

Since the 55th year of Jingtai, we have been recruiting heroes in history among the people. The response from the people has been very intense because there are too many candidates.

At that time, the emperor proposed to move the heroes of China and the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, which aroused widespread praise among the people.

It has been held every year in the past few years. The heroes are worthy of being remembered forever.

The Center has even published many biographies of heroes, inviting novelists to write novels based on heroes in history and pass them on forever.

This year Kunlun Mountain was granted Zen status.

Next year, statues will be erected for heroes. As of the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, all previous heroes will be included.

During the Kunlun Ceremony, the emperor would also build an emperor's temple, and all the emperors who had made outstanding contributions to China in the past dynasties would be placed in it for worship.

The emperor is not included in the heroes, and the emperor has a separate temple.

In both the government and the public, no one approached the emperor and thought that it was not appropriate to mobilize troops and mobilize the public.

Because this is your own history.

The emperor attaches great importance to his own history. This is an honor and the people of the world should be honored by it.

The political signal for doing so is even more pronounced.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty was too large, and all tribes needed a sense of identity. They had to find a source for this sense of identity.

The emperor's temple cannot only worship the emperors of the Central Plains, such as Nanyue, Tubo, Dali, Xixia, Shiwei, Goguryeo, Korea, Japanese, Huns, Turks, Western Liao, Mongolia, etc. These countries also belong to the history of China, so naturally they should also It is included in the Emperor's Temple.

Even outstanding emperors from India, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, Europe and other regions can select a few with outstanding achievements and include them, such as Alexander.

After worshiping for hundreds of years, the world's identity will come.

This explains that the Ming Dynasty was not a conqueror, but that the ancient world was unified. It was originally the ancient land of China. The branches of China attacked each other, which caused the countries to be temporarily separated.

Now the Ming Dynasty has unified China and allowed compatriots of all ethnic groups to return to their mother's arms.

Therefore, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is the prosperity of the world and the prosperity of all ethnic groups in China.

The prince also has this kind of foresight.

But he was reluctant to part with so much money.

Just say how much does it cost to build a palace on Kunlun Mountain? How much will it cost to maintain in the future? Is it necessary to spend so much money on a futile search for the origins of the story?

The emperor said yes.

Why did the Mongols fight for the Ming Dynasty? Is it just because the Ming Dynasty was strong?

Not at all.

Because the Ming court regarded them as human beings, because the Ming Dynasty regarded them as compatriots, and because the Ming Dynasty treated all meritorious ministers equally.

Looking at the Japanese, there have been more than a dozen marquises in recent years.

The Japanese country lost 300 million people in order to occupy the world for the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few years, people from the Ming Dynasty have continued to immigrate to the Japanese country. Except that they have not directly recovered the Japanese country, the Japanese country has become completely a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

Is it a loss to make a few marquises?

There were also the Zeng soldiers. They attacked India from the snow-capped mountains. How much force did the Zeng soldiers exert?

Just say how many Buddhist soldiers were there to protect the emperor in the palace?

Let alone Miao Yao and Yizhuang. They were the main force in the Southern Expedition. How many people were stained with blood on the battlefield. Shouldn't they be allowed to live a good life?

The Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition recruited so many Uighurs and Hui people that the Aral Sea was completely white.

Millions of Mongolian tribes died for the Ming Dynasty.

Shouldn’t the Mongolian emperor be enshrined?

should!

The Ming Dynasty is not only the Ming Dynasty of the Han people, but also the Ming Dynasty of all ethnic groups in the world, including the Mongolian, Uyghur, Hui, Zhen, Miao, Yao, Yi, Zhuang, Suo, Chao and Japanese. All ethnic groups, like the Han people, are Chinese and enjoy Same power.

In the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, the first Jinshi was born in Japan. Although this Jinshi was a Han, he was also a Han who grew up on the land of Japan.

Each ethnic group has officials serving in the court and soldiers serving in the army.

Their histories belong to China.

The concept of China must be spread to the whole world. This is what China is.

The Ming Dynasty must offer sacrifices.

Sacrifice is not only done in Kunlun Mountain.

The emperor planned to seal ten famous mountains and set up sacrifices at each famous mountain to enhance the sense of national identity.

These ten famous mountains should be spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, such as Korea, Japan, Myanmar, Siam, and Borneo, so that the local people cannot leave the Ming Dynasty.

It's just the first sealing, and there will be many sealings next, and the whole world will be sealed, and a hundred famous mountains and a hundred rivers will be made, and the whole world will worship together.

Civilization cannot be cut off and its roots cannot be lost.

For cultural roots.

The emperor also set specific festivals, such as National Day, New Year's Day, and traditional festivals, which the emperor made everyone in the world celebrate and must celebrate.

Especially during the Chinese New Year!

All 40 billion people in China must celebrate New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day on the same day!

In the fiftieth year of Jingtai's reign, the emperor established official holidays and forced holidays, including New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, for fifteen consecutive days.

Tomb Sweeping Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and New Year's Day are all open for three days.

Like February 2nd, Chinese Valentine's Day, etc., let it go for a day.

It is also to promote tourism and to make people all over the world remember the festival.

As for Christmas, Halloween, and other festivals in various countries, they are not legal holidays and can be celebrated privately, but they are not holidays.

Everything is for a sense of belonging, identity, and responsibility.

"Eldest nephew, if you were in your grandfather's position today, would you be able to live like an ascetic like him?"

Zhu Jianya asked him: "In the court, your grandfather answers every call. Can you restrain yourself like your grandfather and never abuse your power?"

"The whole world, your grandfather's words can make the whole world collapse. This is absolute power. Who can control it?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youqi was slightly startled.

"It seems that your grandfather is good to the vassal country, so he is worried that after the Ming Dynasty became the dominant family, the court will be mediocre and the people will be lazy, and the great future will be wasted."

"Today's prosperity is the result of your grandfather's efforts."

"What he fears most is that the prosperous world in front of him is a bubble that will burst at the first touch." "So, he tries his best to restrain himself and never abuse his power. Even now, he no longer uses power."

"How many of the great emperors of the ages can be like your grandfather in his later years, willing to give up themselves for the sake of the world and become a lazy emperor?"

"You and your father are in charge of the government, has your grandpa ever given any advice?"

"Don't forget, your grandfather was an emperor like Taizu and Emperor Taizong. How was Qin Shihuang in his later years, how was Emperor Wu of Han's later years, and how was Tang Xuanzong's later years?"

"Your grandfather's achievements are no worse than those of these emperors throughout the ages."

"But how does he use his power?"

"Eldest nephew, haven't you noticed that your grandfather has always been afraid of something? Because of this fear, he tried his best to restrain himself and gradually fade out of the court. He also supported your father and became his opponent to save him from Idiot and senseless.”

Zhu Jianya looked sad: "Your grandfather is getting old. He can control himself, but he is worried that your father cannot. After he ascends the throne, will he become arrogant and complacent, destroying the eternal achievements in one day?"

"So, he is supporting the vassal king and several vassal states that can compete with the Ming Dynasty."

"Let Ming Dynasty always be in internal and external troubles."

"Only in this way will the Ming Dynasty give birth to a wise king, and the Ming Dynasty Zuo will be passed down forever."

After Zhu Youqi heard this, he was completely stunned.

He had never thought about this.

Uncle Forty-one, who was devoted to scientific research, actually saw things more clearly than he did. As expected, none of his uncles were mediocre.

Even his father, whom his grandfather had always looked down upon, was actually a wise king and a very qualified prince in the eyes of the world.

Zhu Youqi bowed deeply and thanked his uncle for his advice.

"My eldest nephew, it is not easy to be the emperor of the sect. The vassal countries are eyeing me. Everyone wants to return to their ancestral land and become the emperor, and my uncle is no exception."

Zhu Jianya smiled and said: "As long as you are not qualified, your forty uncles may come back to steal your throne."

"Remember, be the emperor of the suzerain country. This is what your grandfather meant."

Zhu Youqi understood.

His grandfather was most worried that the Ming Dynasty would be occupied by aliens, so he would wipe out all the aliens in the world and assimilate them into the same kind.

It turned into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when various countries competed for hegemony.

The Ming Dynasty became the Emperor of Zhou, and whoever ascended the throne in the future would be his descendant Zhu Qiyu and Zuo of the Ming Dynasty.

If the bright wind does not fall, Han Zuo will not be destroyed.

Zhu Youquan went to Yangxin Hall to receive his orders. He told the old emperor that it was Uncle Forty-One who gave him the advice.

"I didn't expect that the youngest was not a fool."

Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Grandson, the Ming Dynasty seems to be prosperous, but in fact the flowers are blooming fiercely. No matter how beautiful the flowers bloom now, the death will be miserable."

"If we want the flower of the Ming Dynasty to bloom, we need me, we need you, and we need your descendants to be wise and continue to be glorious together with the people of the world."

Zhu Yougui kowtowed to the ground.

Old Forty-one is also a smart man. If he is released to Europe, will he be able to do it?

In the state of Wei.

Wei Wang Zhu Jianjun was also worried about the outlet to the sea.

In the fifty-fourth year of Jingtai, he borrowed a piece of frozen soil from the Ming Dynasty to build the strategic depth in the north. It was all frozen soil. The emperor hesitated for a while and then agreed.

Taking Tomsk as a vertical line, the frozen soil in the north was given to Wei.

In fact, the emperor didn't want to give it, but the prince felt that there was no need to be too stingy. It was just a useless piece of frozen soil, so he gave it to him.

Therefore, it was lent to the Wei State for two hundred years. Zhu Jianqi signed it, but the old emperor did not.

Zhu Jianjun wanted to find an island in India as an enclave of Wei State, and then Wei State invested in building a railway jointly managed by all countries.

The problem is, the islands are all sealed off, and they are all clans.

They were originally dissatisfied with the island they were assigned, and were all seeking territory on land. How could they be willing to give their island to Wei.

Zhu Jianjun asked to come to the emperor, and the emperor wrote to him saying that in order to seek an enclave, it would be better to form an alliance with a coastal country and use other countries' water ports.

Those who can form an alliance with Wei are Xu and Yi.

Xu State occupies the peninsula of Pakistan and the Gulf of Kutch in India, separated by the Brakha Khanate, Yarkand Khanate, and a gathering area of ​​natives, which is Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is where soldiers from the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditions gather. This area belongs to the Ming Dynasty in name, but is actually jointly managed by all the countries.

The country of Iraq is eastern Iran, plus a piece of territory in Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan is the country of Iraq.

In the past few years, I have been recuperating.

To be precise, they are waiting for the opportunity to expand their territory.

The one who had the same idea as him was the Ning King Zhu Jianhuai, the seventeenth son of the emperor, who was sealed in northern India. His Ning Kingdom bordered the Ming Dynasty Ussun and occupied Nepal, eastern Pakistan, and a piece of Afghan territory.

In the 40th year of Jingtai, the four countries reached a secret agreement.

First sort out the internal affairs, and when the country becomes stronger, it will send troops to attack the Yarkand Khanate and Braha Khanate. The three countries will equally divide the territory of the two khanates.

The six kings of India and the other four kings had no idea of ​​​​the northern territory and did not want an enclave.

The six kings of India, except Ningguo, all have access to the sea, and they are all willing to cooperate with Wei.

Jingtai fifty-sixth year.

The cause was that Sayid, the monarch of the Yarkand Khanate, died of illness during the march in the 55th year of Jingtai. His men rebelled, Sayid's eldest son Rashid was killed, and the khanate was completely in civil strife.

In the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, the four kingdoms of Wei, Yi, Xu, and Ning divided into four groups and attacked the Yarkand Khanate.

The Yarkand Khanate was entirely supported by Sayide.

As soon as Sayid died, the Khanate fell apart instantly.

It can't stand the attack and plunder of the four countries at all.

Fortunately, Sayid had deliberately gathered people who had enemies with the Ming Dynasty in recent years and placed them in the Yarkand Khanate.

Now it works.

After hearing that the Ming Dynasty was attacking, although there was internal strife in Yerkang, it still gave the four countries a head-on attack.

In July of the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty entered the war.

Three months later, the Yarkand Khanate was completely divided and the Khanate collapsed completely.

At the same time, the five countries' swords pointed at the only remaining Braha Khanate.

The Braha Khanate did not have a super-famous general like Sayid. They did not eat him before because they were worried that Sayid would rebel against Wei.

In just one month, the Brakha Khanate collapsed.

The war in Central Asia has come to an end.

The Three Kingdoms re-divided their territory, but Wei State swallowed up the entire territory of Kazakhstan and firmly occupied the land between the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea.

Wei's domineering power caused the four-nation coalition to fall apart in an instant.

They almost started fighting with each other.

Then the three kingdoms appealed to the emperor and asked him to re-divide the territory.

It also laid the foundation for the Four Kingdoms War.

Except for Afghanistan, which is co-administered by various countries, there are no foreign ethnic groups in Central Asia. They are all vassals of the Ming Dynasty. How to divide Afghanistan will also become an issue.

Big merchant next door.

The great merchants had already annexed the Crimean Khanate and the Astrakhan Khanate and completely occupied the Caucasus.

During this period, Poland sought independence.

Germany really had a headache with these people, so it could only set aside a piece of territory to allow Poland to become independent and act as a buffer state with the big merchants.

It was also Dashang who was too cruel, beating him every day.

As soon as Poland became independent, it started to compare with the Great Shang's annexation of the two khanates.

The three kingdoms of Shang, Qi, and Zhao allied forces attacked Poland, and the Second Polish War began.

Qi King Zhu Youchan personally led the troops and annexed the newly established Poland in just one month.

Germany was forced to send troops, but was defeated by the powerful King of Qi.

Lodz is the dividing line between the two countries.

King Zhao returned to attack Finland. Finland was covered in frozen soil and there were not many places suitable for living. The Kamal Alliance was on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty, so it was logical for King Zhao to attack Sweden.

The first Swedish War broke out in Zhao.

Finland is still part of Sweden.

The arm-wrestling between the Ming Dynasty and the Vikings is something that Europe would like to see.

at the same time.

The Chen and Chu coalition forces attacked the British mainland and raised their flags to support Irish independence. Britain was really screwed.

Not long after the annexation of Ireland, everyone in Ireland was not convinced by the British.

Sure enough, Britain was really scared when the Chen-Chu coalition came.

The Kaiser announced that he would allow Ireland to become independent and allow the Chen-Chu coalition to withdraw.

But you are the emperor of the European Union, and we are a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, why should we listen to you!

The Chen-Chu coalition forces still set foot on Irish territory.

Ireland had just become independent when it was captured by the Chen-Chu coalition forces.

Ireland is confused. Didn’t you agree that you would help me become independent? If I haven’t even thanked you, my country will be gone!

Zhu Youtang is so bad. He beats people and promotes the liberation of Ireland at the same time.

The most fucked up country is the UK.

The reason why the UK is independent from Europa is because Ireland is in the hands of the UK, and the UK can control this little brother at any time.

But once Ireland is controlled by the Ming Dynasty, Britain will be screwed.

The people of Ming Dynasty were best at burning, killing and looting.

From now on, I’ll just be on guard against the mainland every day, and it’s ridiculous to expand.

A new idea has emerged in the UK, which is to abandon its homeland and become a land country.

France can only suffer.

France doesn’t want to do this. France doesn’t want Mr. Dongguo.

The pressure was instantly on the Kaiser.

Europa only has such a small amount of territory, like the Ming Dynasty, it can entrust it anywhere.

The Kaiser still wants Danish territory, will Denmark give it to him?

Who doesn’t want to expand?

Just when the Kaiser was hesitating, bad news came from the Balkans: Hungary was defeated!

After the Ming Dynasty declared war on Europe.

Instead of investing all the troops in the Ottoman Empire, they also invested 30 troops in the Balkans and Hungary.

The one who is most interested in the Balkans is Dachu.

This time the largest number of troops were sent.

European countries also gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to help Hungary defend against the Ming Dynasty.

Who would have thought that just a few months after the war started, the Ming Dynasty actually conquered a large area of ​​Hungary's territory. The Hungarian royal family is now in a state of panic.

Ask Europa to increase its troops to defend Hungary.

The Kaiser was troubled.

Poland was destroyed just after it was founded, Ireland was destroyed just after it became independent, and Sweden was attacked by Zhao.

Now Hungary has lost again.

It can be said that the situation is very dangerous.

Hungary is very important and must not fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The Kaiser decided to add 500,000 troops, and all countries must come together.

In the fifty-seventh year of Jingtai, Europa added 500,000 troops to defend Hungary.

The Ming Dynasty was also investing its troops in a bloody battle in Hungary.

At this time, an edict came, proclaiming the forty-first son of the emperor Cai Wang Zhu Jianya, and vassaling Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, and merging them into the Cai Kingdom.

The emperor's last son was enfeoffed.

This result far exceeded Zhu Youtang's expectations.

Zhu Youtang originally wanted to seek dominance in the Aegean Sea after annexing the Balkans.

When the Cai State came, I was afraid that it was to check the Chu State and the Shang State, and to add a big country between them.

Cai Guo occupies the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, and may also take over a piece of Ottoman territory, which serves as a transit point for Eastern European countries.

But can this forty-one uncle be able to bear this heavy burden?

Zhu Youtang immediately thought of Greece.

It can be heard that the emperor's personal letter means that he intends to award this piece of land to the vassal country with the greatest victory in the Ottoman War, and select an outstanding person from that royal family to succeed the vassal in Greece.

The signal was released, and all the countries along the route worked hard to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

It was a closed country.

The Ming'ao war was fierce, and the outcome could not be seen for a while. The Ming Dynasty continued to invest soldiers and ordnance.

In the fifty-seventh year of Jingtai, Wei State coordinated with the three vassal states to send additional troops.

I just want to get Cyprus and become an enclave of Wei.

After Chen and Chu took over Ireland, they planned to split it between the north and the south, and each would appoint a son to be the vassal king.

In fact, the biggest headache is the Vikings.

Vikings are pirates. They are fine when they are friends, but they are really unlucky when they are enemies.

They would invade the mainland at any time, burning, killing and looting.

You can also exchange soil with them, but they are all frozen soil. The worst they can do is to burrow into the forest and endure dozens of degrees below zero, and no one can catch them.

The one who suffered the most was Chen Guo.

The Chen State was a chosen land when there was no war, but when the war came, it was a top-notch bad land.

The Vikings attacked the Spanish and Portuguese regions every day, all along the coast. Dachu could just defend the strait, but Chen had nowhere to defend and could only be ravaged by others.

Zhu Jianzhu is not a person who suffers losses.

You burn, kill, and rob me, and I can't beat you savages, so we'll attack the British and the Dutch, and we'll all die together.

France was handed over to Chu.

Then the Three Kingdoms fell into bloody misfortune.

Chen Guo turned into a robber, landing every day to burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil.

The UK is a little better. After all, it has a solid foundation. The coastal areas have been destroyed, and the core areas have also been affected.

The Netherlands is not good. I am just a piece of rotten land, a rotten mud pond, a country submerged in water. It relies on land reclamation and land acquisition little by little.

It's such a bad place, being logged in every day.

The sea coachman was of no use either.

The Ming Dynasty cut off contact with the Netherlands. As long as any European ship appears, it will be sunk. Coastal countries are attacking European merchant ships.

International trade was cut off, and the Netherlands became a completely agricultural country. No, they couldn't even fill their stomachs, they could only reclaim the sea and land little by little, and barely survived in the blisters.

He still had to be harassed by Chen Guoren.

The small territory was ravaged every day, and after a few months, the Dutch lay flat.

There is nothing left in the country, everything has been burned down.

Large numbers of people got into the muddy ponds and saw their crops burned and their houses burned. They had no other choice but to curse the Dutch Emperor.

Why go to war?

The Dutch roared, why did they start a war with the Ming Dynasty?

In the past, we were sea coachmen, making money from the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t it nice?

Why should we go to war with Ming Dynasty? Why should we join the European Union? Why!

The Dutch went crazy.

The Dutch government also fell flat.

The Kaiser was worried that the Ming people were cheating, so they began to guard the coast.

France is also unlucky.

France lost its Mediterranean territory, but the Bay of Biscay territory in the Atlantic Ocean is still there. Such a large territory has become the back garden of Da Chu.

The Kaiser doesn't care either. The Kaiser only guards the door of his own house.

Louis XII could only send people to make peace with Dachu. The envoy of Dachu said that he asked the Vikings to stop plundering, otherwise all countries would be in trouble.

When the Kaiser heard about this condition, he immediately issued an order to let the Vikings stop.

However, the Vikings were born robbers. If you cut off their financial resources, they would immediately abandon the European Union and actually come to rob the German coast.

The traps laid by the Germans were given to the Vikings.

The equipment of the Vikings was far from comparable to that of civilized society. It was really fucked.

The Vikings hated Germany.

Britain, France and the Netherlands simultaneously advocated for the Vikings to be kicked out of the European Union.

Now Germany is gnashing its teeth when watching the Vikings.

Because the Vikings found an advantage, even the Ming Dynasty could not defeat them. They were not afraid of the cold or the harsh natural environment.

So why should the Vikings listen to the bullshit Kaiser? You are all our cheese. When we want to eat, we come down to eat. When we don’t want to eat, we go back.

Troler, the head of the Kamal Alliance, actually proclaimed himself emperor.

On an equal footing with the Kaiser.

He even gave the Kaiser an order to point fingers at the European Union.

The Kaiser was furious.

Emperor Ka doesn't care about the impending split in the country or what others think. Anyway, I am the emperor and I am Niubi.

The people of Chen State called the Vikings Vikings, which is similar to Japanese pirates.

Just one year after its establishment, the European Union split off.

But the European Union's own strength has not declined much. Just look at the Ming-Hungary War. After the Kaiser increased his troops by half a million, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the European Union.

Zhu Jianzhen enfeoffed his second son Zhu Youzhen to Denmark, specifically to compete with the Vikings.

Zhu Youzhen was the most talented military among Zhu Jianzhu's sons, and the prince in Chen Kingdom who was best able to resist the Vikings.

Being sent to Denmark will also cause trouble for the Germans, killing two birds with one stone.
